And as a gift to you all, it’s round 1 prediction time by yours truly.

I don’t see anything other then a warriors win here.
We can’t defend and all we do is drop the ball. I think it will get ugly.

Warriors by 20+
Damn, I've got some money on the Warriors. Now I'm thinking of cashing in and backing the Sharkies.

I'm not nervous. Do you think I look nervous? I don't. I'm not.

Not bothered. Just round 1.

Nicho doesn't even need to play well. It's round 1. Trindall too, he'll come good. And our forwards. We're getting their best one anyway.

Fun, this waiting...

Standard round 1 for us:
- Fall behind early, say 12-0
- Takes us over 30 mins at least to score our first try.
- Brief resurgence in the 2nd half, might even take the lead briefly.
- Lose in the last 5 mins to a try.

It's honestly worth going back through our round 1 games over the years and spotting this trend.

Can see us bucking the trend of slow starts to a season. We have one of the most stable 17 in recent times or be close to NRL record of the least squad changes over 3 years. We should be starting on all cylinders

In case anyone is looking at the title of this thread for game start time.

It's a 6pm start for those in NSW & VIC.

I'm sure you all know this already, but just in case for the busier people.

All the talk from late last year was all about how the defense was finally coming together... Thats all I want to see tonight.

Are we allowed to kick the ball out on the full from the kick off, 10m out from their line? Play the ball isn't it?
